Pre-Flight and Weather
Before departure, the pilot checked the weather conditions on television. The details of the weather forecast were not specified, but the pilot proceeded with the flight.
Diversion and Return
Upon arriving at the intended destination airport, the pilot found the airport fogged in. He then diverted to another airport, which was also fogged in. Subsequently, he returned to his departure airport, only to find it fogged in as well.
Finding a Break in the Fog
The pilot flew southeast from the departure airport and eventually found a break in the fog. At that point, he was getting low on fuel, leading him to decide to make a precautionary landing in a field.
Landing and Aftermath
During the landing, the pilot touched down downwind and floated over his intended landing point. After touchdown, the aircraft rolled into some brush and trees, and the aircraft was damaged.
No injuries were reported among the occupants. The pilot successfully exited the aircraft after the incident.
